Which emoji say thank you
There is no single thank-you character, so people combine a handful of emoji that carry gratitude. π (folded hands) is the most common and the most versatile: thanks, please, appreciation. π adds warmth. π (bouquet) is a gift of thanks. π₯Ή (face holding back tears) is βIβm touchedβ. π«Ά (heart hands) is βappreciate youβ. β€οΈ and π round it out for closer relationships and celebrations.
